Here's one clue of when the "miss every question" show may have aired. The first contestant to be rigged outright was Richard Jackman who was on the October 3 broadcast, which was the fourth show. Up until then, Twenty-One was apparently played straight, but Enright thought the show was dull. Maybe the disastrous episode was the third show.
As far as Monty Hall hosting, he was supposed to take over the show for the summer while Jack Barry toured with a nightclub act. But Barry hurried back to New York and resumed his hosting when he you know what started hitting the fan. I don't know how many episodes Monty Hall hosted, but Barry was definitely hosting when the show went off the air.

Barry did indeed host the final episode, and the photo taken of him after the studio cleared out is a perfect example of "a picture's worth a thousand words."

This YouTube link shows a Donahue program from 1995, with GS hosts and the late Fred Wostbrock:
Around the 21 minute, an audience member asks about the movie Quiz Show and Monty Hall (via satellite) says he "replaced," Jack Barry for FOUR weeks.

The show was cancelled after this episode aired, so there was no formal on-air announcement...but Barry likely knew that this was it. It was replaced by Concentration for another four weeks.
